A young woman who killed an intruder may be heading to prison, even now that authorities have ruled the shooting justified. In December, Krissy Noble shot a man named Dylan Stancoff with her husband's gun when Stancoff forced his way into her Fort Smith, Arkansas, home. Noble was 11 weeks pregnant. The case was sent to the Sebastian County Prosecutor's Office, which determined that the shooting was justified. But Noble still faces felony gun charges because of a previous drug-related conviction. In 2017, Noble pleaded guilty to felony possession of marijuana with intent to deliver as well as possession of drug paraphernalia. (She had been pulled over while riding in a vehicle with friends. Each person in the vehicle received the same charges when no one claimed the items.) She got a five-year suspended sentence, and as part of that was prohibited from either possessing or using firearms. After Stancoff's death, the authorities filed a petition to revoke Noble's suspended sentence. She has since been charged with being a convicted felon in possession of a gun. Yesterday Noble turned herself in, was booked, and was released on a $2,500 bond. Noble gave birth to her son earlier this year. If convicted, she tells ABC News, she could spend a maximum of 24 years in prison. "That's my baby's life," she lamented. "I won't even know my child." Authorities say Krissy Noble was justified in shooting and killing a home intruder while she was pregnant.

If the weapon is legally owned by her husband then there should be no charges. She has a constitutional right of defense even if she doesn’t own the weapon. My spidy sense tells me there is more to the story.
Her past marijuana arrest was probably a felony. Being a convicted felon could prohibit her from possessing a firearm. Even if she claims the gun was her husbands, and she shares the same household he keeps his guns in, she still possessed it when she physically used it. Now... when faced with the choice of being carried by six or judged by 12... I’ll always pick being judged by 12... and she made the better choice. She choose to LIVE... which was smart. Now she can live in prison and face the consequences for her past felonious activity. Unless you’re a weak overly sensitive SNOWFLAKE, that exuses personal responsibilities, then any conservative minded person would expect this female to pay for her current behaviors as they relate legally with her past criminal record. What we do in life, ECHOES for eternity. Only liberals think we can wipe history away (remove statues or forgive past arrest records). Dicktard is a snowflake
Too bad she doesn't live in Chicago. Oh, they have the same law. They just don't enforce it. Which is why felons carry guns -- and use them -- in Chicago.
